General information

)

25

Intended use



This extractor hood complies with the

stipulated safety regulations. Improper use

may result in injury or damage.

 The extractor hood may be used in the

household only. The manufacturer is not liable

for damage which is caused by improper use or

incorrect operation.

 The manufacturer cannot be made

responsible for damage which can be attributed

to non-observance of the safety instructions.

 RISK OF INJURY

Do not allow children to play with the

extractor hood! Adults and children must

never operate the appliance unsupervised

– if they are not physically or mentally

capable of doing so,

– or if they do not have the knowledge and

experience to operate the appliance

correctly and safely.

Technical safety

 The extractor hood left the factory in perfect

condition. Nevertheless check the appliance for

visible damage before installation. If it is

damaged, do not switch it on!

 If the power cord of the extractor hood is

damaged, it must be replaced by the

manufacturer, his customer service or a

similarly qualied person to prevent hazardous

situations.

 Only a qualied technician may install

(including electrical connection), service or

repair the extractor hood. Always isolate the

extractor hood by pulling out the mains plug

or switching o the fuse!

 Safety instructions



If the appliance is improperly installed,

serviced or repaired, the user may be placed in

considerable danger for which the

manufacturer is not liable.

 Changes to the electrical or mechanical

installation are dangerous and must not be

undertaken! They may also cause the extractor

hood to malfunction.

Simultaneous operation of the extractor

hood with a heating appliance which is

dependent on ambient air

 Heating appliances which are dependent

on ambient air, e.g. gas, oil, wood, or solid-fuel

heaters, instantaneous water heaters, hot

water boilers, hobs or ovens, and which draw

combustion air out of the installation room

and whose exhaust gases are conveyed to the

exterior by a ue.

 RISK OF POISONING

If the extractor hood is operated at the same

time as a heating appliance which is

dependent on ambient air, there is a risk of

poisoning due to combustion gases being

drawn back in.

26



Safe operation is possible provided the low

pressure in the installation room of the heating

appliance does not exceed 4Pa (0.04mbar).

This can be achieved if the combustion air can

ow through non-closable openings, e.g. in

doors, windows, in conjunction with air

intake/exhaust air wall boxes or by other

technical measures.



Adequate intake air must therefore always

be provided.

 An intake/exhaust air wall box alone does not

ensure compliance with the limit value.

NOTE: When making your evaluation, always

consider the entire ventilation system in the

home. Include the advice of a competent

heating engineer when making your

evaluation.

 If the extractor hood is used in circulating

air mode only, it can be operated without any

restrictions.

Special information for gas cookers



When installing the extractor hood above

gas hobs, observe the appropriate national

statutory regulations (e.g. in Germany:

Technische Regeln Gasinstallation TRGI).

 Observe the currently valid installation

regulations and instructions of the gas

appliance manufacturer.

 During installation, ensure that only one side

of the extractor hood is situated directly next to

a high-sided unit or a wall. Otherwise, there is a

risk of heat build-up. The gap between the

extractor hood and the wall or high-sided unit

must be at least 50 mm.

 RISK OF BURNS

Do not operate more than 2 gas cooking areas

simultaneously over a period of max.

15 minutes at maximum thermal load. Due to

the eect of the heat there is a risk of burns if

the surfaces of the housing are touched!

 Note that one large burner of more than

5 kW (Wok) is equivalent to the power of 2 gas

burners.

 The extractor hood may be damaged by

the intense heat.

 Never operate a gas cooking area without a

cooking utensil on it. Regulate the ame in

such a way that it does not project over the

cooking utensil.

 Safety instructions

27

Proper use



Clean the extractor hood thoroughly before

using for the rst time.

 Before cleaning and servicing the extractor

hood, isolate it from the power supply by

pulling out the mains plug or switching o the

fuse.

 Bulbs (especially halogen bulbs) become

very hot during operation. Even some time

after the appliance has been switched o,

there is still a risk of burns!

 Before changing bulbs, isolate the extractor

hood from the power supply and leave the

bulbs to cool down!

 Do not operate the extractor hood without

bulbs inserted.

 Always switch on the extractor hood if a

hotplate is being used. If the extractor hood is

not switched on, condensation may form. As a

result, the appliance may corrode.

 Do not place any

objects on the

extractor hood.

 RISK OF FIRE

Do not ambé under the extractor hood or

work with a naked ame. When switched on,

the extractor hood draws ames into the lter.

There is a risk of re due to deposits on the

grease lter!

 Do not leave pans, frying pans or deep-fat

fryers unattended if you are cooking food with

oils or fats, e.g. chips. Overheated oils or fats

can easily ignite!



A risk of re can be prevented by cleaning

the grease lters regularly and changing the

activated-carbon lter in good time.



Never operate the extractor hood without

grease lters.

Correct installation



Check the manufacturer’s specications for

the cooker to determine whether an extractor

hood can be operated over it.

 If the manufacturer of the cooker has not

specied any signicant safety distances, the

following minimum distances apply

– 550 mm between electric hob and the

lower edge of the extractor hood

– 650 mm between gas hob (upper edge of

pan support) and the lower edge of the

extractor hood,

(siehe Abbildungen auf Seite 2).

 If various cookers are used, the greatest

indicated distance applies.

 The width of the extractor hood must

correspond to the width of the cooking area.

 The extractor hood must not be installed

over a solid fuel heating appliance which may

be a re risk (e.g. ying sparks) unless the

heating appliance has a closed, non-

detachable cover and the country-specic

regulations are observed. This restriction does

not apply to gas cookers and gas hobs.



To avoid damaging the hob, cover it when

installing the extractor hood.

enclosed service booklet.

 The appliance surfaces and controls are

scratch-sensitive. Therefore observe the

following cleaning instructions:

– Avoid cleaning the extractor hood with dry

cloths, abrasive sponges, scouring agents,

cleaning agents containing sand, soda, acid,

chlorine or any other aggressive substances.

– Clean the appliance surfaces and controls

with a soft, damp cloth, washing-up liquid

or a mild window cleaner only.

– Do not scrape o dried dirt, but moisten with

a damp cloth.

– Clean carefully in the area of the controls to

avoid liquid from getting into the

electronics.

NOTE: Clean the stainless steel surfaces in the

direction of the ground surface only!

Do not use stainless steel cleaner for the

control buttons!

Metal-mesh grease lters



The metal-mesh grease lters absorb the

grease particles from the kitchen fumes.

 The lter mats consist of re-proof metal.

 RISK OF FIRE

As the lters become more saturated with

greasy residue, the ammability increases. The

function of the extractor hood may also be

impaired.

 The risk of re is prevented by cleaning the

metal-mesh grease lters in good time.

 When cleaning the grease lters, also

remove grease deposits from the accessible

parts of the housing with a damp cloth.

Cleaning the metal-mesh grease lters ...

 Under normal operation (daily 1 to 2 hours),

the metal-mesh grease lters must be cleaned

1x month.

... in the dishwasher

 The metal-mesh grease lters can be

cleaned in the dishwasher. Slight

discolouration may occur but this will not

aect the function of the grease lters.

 The lters must be placed loosely in the

dishwasher. They must not be wedged in.

NOTE: Do not clean heavily saturated metal-

mesh grease lters together with utensils.

... by hand

 When cleaning by hand, soak the grease

lters in a hot detergent solution, brush o the

dirt, rinse thoroughly and leave to dry.

 Do not use any aggressive, acidic or alkaline

cleaning agents.

 If dirt is particularly stubborn, we

recommend using a special grease solvent

spray. This can be ordered via the Online Shop.

37

Removing and installing the grease filters



Activated carbon lters bind the odours in

circulating-air mode.

Installing and removing the activated

carbon lters

1. Remove the grease lters (see Removing

and installing the metal-mesh grease lters).

2. Insert the activated carbon lter.

3. Lock the catch.

4. Reinsert the grease lters (see Removing

and installing the metal-mesh grease lters).

Changing the activated carbon lter

 Under normal operation (daily 1 to 2 hours)

the activated carbon lters must be replaced

approximately 2x year.

 The activated carbon lter is available from

specialist outlets, customer service or the

Online Shop (see Optional accessories). Use

original lters only.

 Activated carbon lters do not contain any

pollutants. They can be disposed of in the

household refuse.



Before removing and installing the grease

lters, always follow the instructions and

warnings in the chapter entitled ”Safety

instructions”!

Removing and installing the metal-mesh

grease lters

1. Open the lock and fold down the grease

lters. In doing so, hold the underside of the

grease lters with your other hand.

(for appliances with edge extraction)

2. Clean the grease lters.

3. Reinsert the cleaned grease lters.



Prior to installation, always follow the

instructions and warnings in the chapter

entitled ”Safety instructions”!

Exhaust-air mode

 The exhaust air is conveyed upwards via a

ventilation shaft or directly through the outer

wall to the exterior.

NOTE: The exhaust air must not be conveyed

into a functioning smoke or exhaust gas ue or

into a shaft which is used to ventilate

installation rooms which contain heating

appliances.

 Before conveying the exhaust air into a

non-functioning smoke or exhaust gas ue,

obtain the consent of the appropriate heating

engineer.

 Discharge exhaust air in accordance with

the ocial and statutory regulations (e.g.

regional building laws).



If the exhaust air is conveyed through the

outer wall, a telescopic wall box should be

used.

To ensure optimum performance, the

extractor hood requires:

– a short, straight exhaust air pipe and

– the largest possible pipe diameter.

 If pipe bends cannot be avoided, ensure

the largest possible radii.

NOTE: If long, rough exhaust air pipes, a lot of

pipe bends or pipe diameters less than

150 mm are used, the air capacity will be less

than optimum and there will be an increase in

noise.



Use only pipes or hoses made of non-

combustible material for installation of the

exhaust air duct.

 The manufacturer of the extractor hoods is

not responsible for complaints which can be

attributed to planning and design of the

pipework.

Connecting pipes



The diameter of the exhaust air pipes

should not be less than 150 mm.

 Round pipes:

We recommend an inner diameter of

150 mm, however at least 120 mm.

 Flat ducts must have the same inner cross-

section as round pipes.

There should be no sharp bends.

Ø 150 mm approx. 177 cm

2

Ø 120 mm approx. 113 cm

2

 If pipe diameters differ:

Use sealing strips.

Connection of 150 mm ø exhaust air pipe

(recommended size)

 Attach exhaust air pipe

directly to the air-pipe

connector and seal

appropriately. If using an

aluminium pipe, smooth the

connection area beforehand.

Connection of 120 mm ø exhaust air pipe

 Attach reducing

connector directly to the air-

pipe connector.

 Attach exhaust air pipe to

the reducing connector.

 Seal both joints

appropriately.

Installation instructions

38

If a permanent connection is required



A disconnector must be provided on the

installation side. Switches with a contact

opening of more than 3 mm and all-pole

disconnection are regarded as disconnectors.

This includes LS switches, fuses and contactors.

Electrical specications

The required connection data can be found on

the rating plate inside the appliance when the

grease lters have been removed.
